LordStark Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Hi team, I've run in to a few problems. I was reading the guide here: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Modding_Guide Quote Mods distributed with, or as part of, 0 A.D. are located within the game's installation directory, under binaries/data/mods/. But then it says: Quote User created mods should be located in a user's mods directory. The exact location differs depending on which Operating System you're running: On Windows (Vista or newer): C:\Users\{name_of_user}\Documents\My Games\0ad\mods\ So it is unclear whether I should create my mod in binaries or in the my games folder. I thought I had figured out the answer to this because I was able to use the millenium mod by putting it in the documents\my games\0ad\mods\ folder. However, when I tried to edit the mod to change the cost of the support_female-citizen of the anglo-saxon side, the female citizen vanished from the game. The code I used was: Quote <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Entity parent="template_unit_support_female_citizen"> <Attack> <Melee> <Damage> <Hack op="mul">1.5</Hack> </Damage> <cost> <food>10</food> </cost> </Melee> </Attack> <Health> <Max>75</Max> </Health> <Identity> <Civ>anglo</Civ> <SpecificName>Cwene</SpecificName> <GenericName>Woman</GenericName> <Icon>units/celt_support_female_citizen.png</Icon> </Identity> <VisualActor> <Actor>units/norse/female_citizen.xml</Actor> </VisualActor> </Entity> I'm not sure if the issue is to do with me needing to have the <cost> and </cost> in a very specific position - does the position of the words matter? I mean I notice in some of the code it is written like this: Example words 1 Example words to the right Does it matter if I write it like this: Example words 1 Example words to the right If the position of the words matter, can someone tell me how to format them correctly in visual basic (which I know nothing about - it is just some folders opened up in visual basic). I tried pressing tab but the words don't allign. What is the purpose of "Binaries"? Edited June 3, 2022 by LordStark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freagarach Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Your mod is a user mod. The indentation doesn't really matter, but you'll need to embed the resource cost in a "resources" tag, like can be seen in other templates. Spoiler <Cost> <Resources> <food>300</food> </Resources> </Cost> (And mind capitalisation.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
